ITunes recognizes my new iPod Touch 5G as if it were my iPad Retina

I bought a newiPod Touch 5g.  I already own a couple older iPod Classics and a realtively new iPad Retina.  I run iTunes on a Windows XP SP3 machine.
When I plug in the new iPod Touch 5g iTunes recognizes it as my iPad Retina.  I've tried the usual starting and stopping Apple Mobile and Ipod Services with no luck, as well as rebooting, closing and opening iTunes, etc.
At my wits end!

Solved one problem:  the iPad was showing up because it had "Sync via WiFi" clicked.  Once I turned that off, that issue was solved.
Problem is more genertic now.  Windows sees the iPod as a camera only.  Tried all the problem solving steps in other threads with no luck, including rebooting.
iTunes sees my iPad and an old iPod Classic, but not the new one.
So is my last resort is to uninstall and reinstall iTunes?
THanks so much for your help.

  • I have an older Ipod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new Ipod Touch and cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?

    I have an older iPod Touch, I bought a new one and the Itunes on my computer is too old to recognize my new iPod Touch and Itunes cannot be updated.  Is there a creditable software program I can use to get all my old music from my old iPod Touch to the new one?  It is my understanding that the music cannot be saved onto my new iTunes, b/c I did not have iCloud. I have over 2,000 songs I just cannot part with. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help some how!!  THANKS!

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

  • My computer won't recognize my new ipod touch

    Why won't my computer recognize my new ipod touch?

    I have just been through this world of pain. dont bother re-installing itunes, or trawling through device drivers.
    Instead, make sure you turn off bluetooth and wireless. Unplug your network cable from the pc (assuming you have a LAN connection).
    Try plugging in the touch and it should be recognised straight away.

  • TS1593 How do I get existing music from itunes onto my new Ipod touch?

    How do I get my existing music from itunes on my computer onto my new ipod touch?
    Itunes recognizes the new device, but when I try to sync it up, it says sync is complete, but no music shows up on the ipod. Itunes is the latest versioin (11.0.04)
    (I suspect it has something to do with my having an older ipod nano. The older Ipod nano does sync up ok).
    Wayne F.

    It has nothing to do with the nano. I suspect that yo do not have the right setting checked to sync the media you want to sync, See:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPodWas the iPod touch previous synced to another computer/iTunes library? In that case yo can only use the manual method of syncing discussed in the article. If yo use the automatic method the media from the iPod will be erased \. I thin you are using the manual method but the songs are not checked to to sync.

  • Why can't I access iTunes from my new iPod touch?

    I have my new iPod touch for three days now.  I got it on Christmas December 25, 2013. iTunes is working fine up until yesterday(December 27, 2013) Every time I try to open iTunes it says feature is no supported and then under that it says this feature is no longer supported and then has an okay button.  I tested it and iTunes on my mom's iPhone works perfectly fine.   I would like to purchase some new music. Can anyone tell me why it says "this feature no longer supported"? Please help!

  • ITunes recognizes my new iPod but rejects my old iPod

    My old iPod's battery is just about dead. It is three years old; I will send it to Apple for a new battery.
    In the meantime, I bought a new 5th generation iPod, 60 GB. It's great! Eventually the old iPod will be my work iPid and the new one wil be the home and recreation iPod.
    Here's the problem. I researched using two iPods from the same copy of iTunes. In response to my questions in this forum, someone referred me to the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300432, "How to use multiple iPods with one computer", which I read, and which supported the idea that you can work with two iPods from one copy of iTunes.
    My goal, then, was to follow Method Two as described in the article, and use two iPods from my one computer, without setting up separate user accounts for each one.
    So -- I plopped in the CD that came with the new iPod, installed the latest iTunes. It had me register the new iPod by serial number.
    In my copy of iTunes, my old iPod was called "Mae Sot's iPod". I set up the new iPod as "Mae Sot's New iPod".
    I thought that from now on, when I plugged in my old iPod, iTunes would be able to recognize it, and when I plugged in the new one, iTunes would recognize it.
    Wrong.
    My copy of iTunes does great now in working with the new Ipod. But it totally rejects the old one.
    When I plus in the old iPod to synch/recharge, I first get the Windows message in the lower right part of the screen with the headline, "USB device is not recognized", telling me that "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it..."
    The first time this happened, that message eventually went away, iTunes launched, and I got an error message saying there was no folder for the device.
    Now when I plug in the old iPod, I just get the "USB device is not recognized..." message, and iTunes does not launch.
    Any idea what is the problem?
    My goal is to get iTunes to add my old iPod as a recognized device, so that I can clean the music off it and send it to Apple for a new battery.

    I've got the same problem as well. When i connect all i see is "set up your iphone" screen. It worked perfectly fine a couple of weeks back when I last synced but, doesn't sycn anymore.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Will itunes recognize my new IPOD?

    Since apple is replacing my ipod video, when I sync the replacement for the first time, will itunes accept it? Is there something I need to do to "unpair it" from the old one?
    None of the music in itunes could get lost or deleted right?
    THanks

    What if I replaced a stolen Ipod and when I plugged in a newly purchased ipod I get the following message.....will I lose all my songs if i choose "yes"
    The ipod "marc shefman's iPod" is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this iPod with those from this library?
    thanks

  • How can I sync my new ipod touch with my itunes 9.2.1 itunes

    Ok I have got a mac mini running  os 10.4.11 at 1.25ghz 1 gb and have a new 4th gen ipod touch I can't sync it to my itunes 9.2.1 please tell me I can get this to work without paying any more out!!!

    Thanks Jim I thought I might have to upgrade software but to be honest I was looking at investing in a new Mac in the summer but wanted a cheap fix to get my thousands of tunes that i have bought from Itunes onto my new ipod touch Ironically I have a samsung Galaxy s2 I use for work which interfaces with my mac no problem... I find it very odd apple are treating there own customers in this way making me upgrade to interface with their own products!! Which after having macs for the last 20 years i am doubting my decision to carry on with my loyalty to a brand that is doing this!!
    Sorry not your problem.. thanks for the advise.
